The Haryana government has decided to put its “early bird” projects within the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) sub-region of Haryana in the fast track mode for speedier implementation.
Disclosing this, HSIIDC Managing Director Rajeev Arora said the state government had identified four early bird projects to be implemented as a pilot initiative within the DMIC region, including a mass rapid transportation system on the Gurgaon-Manesar-Bawal route, exhibition-cum-convention centre, integrated multimodal logistics hub and a new passenger rail link.
He said that Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation Limited (DMICDC), the SPV floated by the Government of India for implementing the DMIC projects, had appointed the consultant for undertaking a study on the Master Plan for the Manesar Bawal Investment Region (MBIR) and undertaking pre-feasibility studies for two early bird projects that are exhibition-cum-convention centre and the integrated multimodal logistics hub.
Arora pointed out that in the report submitted by DMIC consultants for the exhibition-cum-convention centre, space requirement of about 15 million square meters had been estimated by the year 2025 within the MBIR. The consultants had also shortlisted location in Gurgaon after studying about eight prospective sites. Based on the study, the project was to be developed over an area of about 300 acres providing exhibition space of about 1,20,000 square meters besides convention facilities for about 4,000 persons. The land at the site identified for the project was already under acquisition by HSIIDC, he added.
He added the logistics hub project was being developed in collaboration with Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited (DFCCIL) for which an MoU had been signed between the two parties.
The consultants in their report had estimated container traffic of about 1.62 million TEUs by the year 2018, he said. The site for the project has been finalised in Rewari district and the consultants have been advised to submit a final feasibility report.
For the third project, study for identifying the right of way alignment has already been completed by the consultants and being finalised in consultation with the state government of Haryana.
